Chapter 197 What kind of formation does the Chinese team need?
On March 10, the national football team's goalkeeper coach Jimmy Limo returned to China after the vacation and began to coach Ou Chuliang in Beijing. As planned, before the national football team regrouped, Limo will go to various clubs to observe and guide the goalkeepers who are expected to be selected for the national football team. After Ou Chuliang, Jiang Jin, Jiang Hong and Han Wenhai will receive the trial training of Limo.
After all, a good goalkeeper tops the top half of the team, of course, Ou Chuliang defeated his opponents in all tests.
During this period, Ou Chuliang followed Vice Chairman Xu and attended an internal meeting of the Football Association.
The main figures in the meeting include Yuan Weimin, Wang Junsheng and Yan Shiduo, as well as football coaches such as Qi Duosheng, Gu Mingchang, and Rad. In addition to the group of translators, there were more than ten people in total.
And this meeting is about discussing the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
The Football Association not only needs to determine the final personnel, but also the formation of the national football team. For Rad and Qi Dusheng, it is also a test of them.
Journalists are not allowed to intervene in such meetings, and even players like Ou Chuliang are not allowed to attend in order to avoid suspicion.
But with the help of Vice Chairman Xu, Ou Chuliang listened to the whole process in the corner.
Before the meeting began, Vice Chairman Xu reminded: "Chu Liang, it is an exception to letting you attend such a meeting. Remember, no matter what you hear during the meeting, you should not speak out. Do you understand?"
"What if they call me and listen to my opinion?"
"No matter whoever calls your name or asks for your opinions and suggestions, you don't have to answer. Even if you want to say something, you will tell your Uncle Wang and the others after the meeting. Do you understand?"
"knew."
Sure enough, at the beginning of the meeting, Qi Wusheng and Rad choked.
Since both China and foreign sides jointly coach the national football team, the coaching teams of both sides came up with a team report and handed over it.
The first debate between Qi Wusheng and Rad was the formation issue.
In Qi Wusheng's opinion, the formation of the four defenders has gradually become the mainstream in Europe. The position is relatively reasonable and the defensive space is evenly divided. Especially when facing the defense of the opponent's two forwards, it can effectively achieve 2V1. And the formation of the four defenders is also very familiar with the Chinese players, especially the 442 parallel position. Such a formation can attack and retreat or defend, and can compete with anyone.
Qi Wusheng's doctrine of moderation has been recognized by most people, and those present are more or less familiar with the ball. The "popular gold oil" formation of 442 is indeed suitable for the Chinese team. Although it may not be able to play tricks on the offensive end, at least it can be done without any trouble on the defensive end.
This formation of "not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes" was deeply loved once it was proposed.
However, the foreign coaching coaching staff does not think so.
Rad not only submitted a team report, but also presented a thick stack of data. These data were translated into Chinese for the Football Association officials to understand.
In Rad's view, the Chinese team is more suitable for playing as a three-back formation.
The reason is also very simple, which is more suitable for the future development of the Chinese team.
In recent years, the Chinese team learned a little from this and that. The old players have played almost all formations, but they are not proficient in any formation.
Under such circumstances, the Chinese team has placed its development goals for the next 10 or 20 years in Brazil. Then the style of Brazilian football has become the reference goal of the Chinese team.
Especially this time, six Jianlibao teenagers were summoned to return to China to serve the king, and combined with goalkeeper Ou Chuliang, the "Brazilian faction" is enough to occupy more than half of the position in a team.
Since old players do not have a system and a large number of young players form their own systems, it is best to use this as a framework to form a team suitable for China's national conditions in the current and next five to ten years.
What's more, 352 is not useless in defense. At least most Serie A clubs currently adopt a three-back formation.
The Serie A is not only a "small World Cup", but Italian teams are also known for their defense. Therefore, the three defenders cannot play well in defense, which is absolutely nonsense!
At the end, Rad picked up another document next to him. He said.
The Japanese team has been sending students to Brazil around 90 years ago, and the Japanese national team also played 352, so it is entirely necessary for China to form a Brazilian-style team.
Rad's last remarks obviously did not impress the officials present, the reason was very simple.
Japan lost to the Chinese team twice last year, and coupled with the public's contempt for Japan in recent years, everyone has no regard for this neighbor.
But Rad is different.
Rad comprehensively summarized Japanese football from an objective perspective. In the conclusion he came to, the foundation of Japanese football is many times stronger than that of China. Although there is no gap in a short period of time, if this continues, sooner or later, the Japanese team will transform into an Asian football power.
The reports and information submitted by Rad were detailed and professional, and took up a long time for Football Association officials. Although most people scoffed at Rad's plans and flattery at Japan, a few people who truly understand football and love football heard the key to Rad's report: the future.
Although football is not a century-old plan, if you want to achieve results, you have to start in ten or twenty years.
For some politicians who don’t care about football, the national football team under their rule is enough as long as they do not make mistakes, so some formations that make as few as possible are naturally sought after.
Yuan Weimin and Wang Junsheng keenly captured the three words "Jianlibao". Jianlibao students are a big gamble for Chinese football, so important that it doesn't matter even if they still can't rush into the 98 World Cup this time.
So at this time, although Yinduo expressed his opposition, Wang Junsheng and Yuan Weimin did not speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Qi Wusheng felt that it was necessary to stand up and say a few words.
"The formation of the 3 defenders is not bad, but the requirements for the wingbacks on both sides are very high! Especially when the offense and defense are transformed, if the defense is a little slow and the fullback cannot run back, our wing will be completely exposed to the opponent."
Qi Wusheng's speech hit the nail on the head, which is indeed the most difficult thing to solve for 352.
When everyone saw Qi Biaosheng questioning Rad about his professional knowledge, they turned their attention to Rad again, wanting to hear how this former coach Nan responded.
After listening to the translation, Rad pondered for a few seconds and spit out a few foreign words.
This time, even if everyone couldn't understand his hometown dialect, they could understand the two people he mentioned.
"I have General Wu Chengying and Sun Jihai who are competent for left and right wing guards."
When Qi Wusheng heard the names of Sun Jihai and Wu Chengying, he also shut up.
Rud continued: "These two people are excellent in the physical fitness test, and they are the best in the Chinese team in both offense and defense. After long-term observation, their attitude is also very positive, they work hard on the court and are fully qualified for the wingback position."
"Coach Qi, what do you think?" Yan Shi Duo asked.
Qi Wusheng stopped talking.
Even the people know that Qi Dusheng's vision of selecting people is not very good. But this time, Wu Chengying and Sun Jihai's performance was very satisfied even if Qi Dusheng was very satisfied.
Needless to say, Sun Jihai is like a fish on the right side, both the right winger and the right sideback are playing in an orderly manner. And because of his youth, his skills and ball merchandising have also grown at a visible rate. Within a few years, he is definitely the main right sideback of the Chinese team.
Wu Chengying is not good at communication, and Qi Wusheng originally had a bad impression of him. Except for Ou Chuliang and later Li Jinyu, almost no one could talk to him. But his style of play is very fierce and he is known as "desperate". He is physically strong, and he will feel at ease if any head coach puts him on the defensive end.
During this Haitang Spring Training, Wu Chengying's changes were also seen by Qi Wusheng.
His position is constantly advanced, and more often after completing steals in the midfield, he will lead the ball to the frontcourt baseline along the wing. What surprised Qi Wusheng even more was that Wu Chengying, who originally only had the ability to cross the bottom, learned to cut in at some point!
Few players can hold this kind of power cut in, and even if the defender keeps up with Wu Chengying's pace, it is difficult for him to steal the ball.
In this way, Wu Chengying went from a tank player who only knew how to defend to an all-rounder who could attack and defend.
He and Sun Jihai serve as wingbacks on both sides, and Qi Wusheng really can't say anything to refute.
After a while, Qi Wusheng opened his mouth: "Mr. Rad said that the two of us are indeed capable of completing this task and playing two positions well. But the problem is that there are only two of us such players. If one of us is injured or a red and yellow card, we don't even have a substitute."
This time, it was Rad's turn to stop talking.
He can indeed design the strongest lineup and formation for the Chinese team based on the current national conditions, but the World Cup and even the future World Cup are not just one game. After many games, no one can guarantee any accidents on the court.
Yuan Weimin looked at Rad who was silent and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "After all, we are not talented enough!"
Finally, after discussions with the coaching team of the Football Association, the 4-back formation is used for regular games, and the 3-back formation is used for extremely strong or extremely weak opponents. As for whether to play as a 3-forward or a 5-centre-back, it depends on the on-site analysis.
In this way, although the formation of the four defenders has been retained, a discerning person can see that the Football Association still values the 352 depicted by Rad. Otherwise, this formation would not be used to attack when encountering strong teams and train when encountering weak teams.
After determining the formation, the Football Association politely discussed the personnel reports submitted by Rad and Qi Wusheng for a long time.
In the end, the Football Association did not fully adopt the personnel arrangements of both sides, but instead appointed two veterans to join the team.
To put it in the words of too much eye poop, a football team must have a reasonable age. It not only needs fresh blood, but also experienced old horses. Otherwise, when encountering difficulties in the game and adversity, there will be no reliable backbone to stand up to lead everyone out of the predicament. Moreover, the addition of old players will also help the stability and unity of the locker room.
This time, Yuan Weimin adopted the suggestion of having too many eyes.
But when I was drawing on the list, I hesitated for a moment.
In the end, Yuan Weimin overturned everyone's suggestions and drew a check mark after the names of Mao Yijun from Shenhua, Shanghai and Gao Hongbo from Songri, Guangzhou.
Everyone was unaware of this, so they finally accepted the advice of the Football Association. Of course, the Football Association only gave two veterans the opportunity to recruit them. As for whether they can take their position, it depends on themselves.
After the meeting, Vice Chairman Xu's tips were made by Ou Chuliang, and then he realized that due to other officials and other forces, Yuan Weimin must obey the "suggestions" and recruit more than two veterans to join the team. However, for the renewal plan of Xu and Wang's national football team and the possible situation of failure, Yuan Weimin specially ordered two veterans who would retire in one or two years.
After knowing the whole story, Ou Chuliang couldn't help but smack his tongue. There were too many tricks here!
Chapter completed!
